Class designs (lesson plans) that use PCE principles and techniques

Opportunities for educators to (1) prepare for the class (includes reviewing the design, becoming familiar with the content and techniques, and practicing the class), (2) give feedback to staff who design classes, and (3) improve their group education skills, such as ongoing training and observation.
